Justin Bieber is a singer and a dancer and a horrible little monster and, most of all, fuel for a fairly large portion of the internet.

There are plenty of examples of this; his arrest was Thursday's biggest story on .... let's just go with all the websites. 100 percent-ish.

And, thankfully, he brought his magic monster pixie dust to the hockey world, when the Dallas Stars posted his mug shot on their jumbotron above the caption "Toronto Maple Leafs" fan. At the time, they were stomping, naturally, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Stars' digital team, who have past experience in the dark art of Twitter trolling, did not mean this as a compliment.

So, Maple Leafs fans were angry at being lumped in with Bieber; Bieber fans were angry that the Stars had deigned to disrespect their tiny, creepy pop-culture obsession. It turned the Stars' mentions into a swamp . There was a lot of stuff like this:

Within two hours, the Stars' account had received nearly as many mentions as they'd gotten in the previous 30 days combined, with more than 20,000. Their biggest day since Dec. 24, according to social analytics site Topsy : 1,982.

Here's that in graph form:

And again: that's just two hours worth of angry Beliebers. If there were only some way to harness their power for good.
